Forums > Living in Kunming > Western Restaurants?

Lots, but nothing 5 star.
A couple of nicer places that are Restaurants, and many more bar/cafe type places that sell food. Most are very reasonably priced compared to the other cities I have lived in.

Have a look at the listings and reviews sections.

Shoes, dunno.
But you can get custom made. Not sure where, I am new to KMG.

Suits, get them tailormade. Probably cheaper that 'off the peg' back home.
I have not bought a suit in Kunming, but 1000 rmb should set you up with a nice one. If it is wear once and then stuff in the wardrobe, 500rmb might cut it.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Starbucks coming to town?

I think there is already a well developed coffee bar culture in Shanghai. My only concern is that it will encourage local business to put up prices.

I also think that a lot of people come here to escape places like Starbucks.

A lot of what is stocked is based on sales, and negotiated (sold) shelf space.

But even a tier 3 city like Zhenghzhou has more international foods.

Not really fare to compare with Xiamen, as it was the first city to open in China and has been more cosmopolitan for longer. I also think Xiamen will have more full-pats and less half-pats (opp. to KMG), who have families who complain if they have to wipe with anything less than Charmin Ultra, and NEED peanut butter and choco spread, crunchy nut cherrios, and pancake mix.

I think of it a bit like an open belt, a strip or swathe. Or if the roads are the lines of communication/trade, then the area of influence (political/economic) along the road is the belt, Others may see if differently.

Definition from Merriam Webster

Belt - an area characterized by some distinctive feature (as of culture, habitation, geology, or life forms); especially : one suited to a particular crop the corn belt

Dali will change even more, but that rate of change may be faster. What will change is the crowds and prices for accommodation. If it follows the pattern of Lijiang and other places, locals will sell up and outsiders will move in, either as buyers or long term renters.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
